Summary

Explains how GET /2/tweets/analytics metrics are counted on the post analytics page (x-api/posts/get-post-analytics.mdx):

• Event totals in the window, not a snapshot of the Post.
• Organic only: promoted activity is excluded.
• Hour-snapped: start_time is rounded down to the hour and end_time up to the next hour. The page includes examples.
• end_time is exclusive after rounding.
• Window limits: at most 30 days; end_time at most 1 year in the past and no later than the end of the current hour.
• Do not subtract unlikes from likes. The difference can be negative. There's a table pointing to public_metrics.like_count / organic_metrics.like_count for current like counts.
• API version 2.174: likes and unlikes count only user like and unlike events. Earlier versions also count internal corrections that hide or restore a like. Callers opt in with x-api-minor-version: 174.

DEVREL-994.

Merge only after 2.174 ships

The 2.174 section describes behavior that isn't deployed yet. It needs:

• Strato: https://phabricator.twitter.biz/D1391191 (adds exclude_archival_corrections to get_post_analytics)
• x-api: XAI_PR (route split at 2.174)

Open questions for reviewers

• This page would be the first public mention of the x-api-minor-version header that I could find. If version pinning shouldn't be documented yet, I'll drop the last sentence.
• No changelog entry yet. I'll add one when 2.174 is released, if that's the convention.
